Ice Age Farmer Report: GRAND SOLAR MINIMUM: Chinese HOARD grains after cold kills wheat - Growing zones shifting

gsm crops
Brutal cold temperatures damaged wheat in the main production area of China -- enough to send locals scurrying into stores to start hoarding supplies! But as they prepare for more crop losses in this deep Solar Minimum, we in the west are scuttling our food supply, and "activists" are moving from urban "protests" to attacks on rural communities and even directly on farms. Defend our farms and start growing food!

Parts of South Australia turned white with frost overnight — and the surface of the River Torrens froze over — as Adelaide's CBD shivered through its coldest morning in 76 years.

The mercury dropped to 0.9 degrees Celsius at Adelaide's central West Terrace weather station about 5:20am — the coldest temperature in the city since June 24, 1944.

The record low at the site is 0.6C on July 24, 1908, although even colder temperatures have been recorded at the former main weather station at Kent Town.

The temperature at Parafield Airport in Adelaide's northern suburbs dipped to minus 2.4C, its lowest minimum since local records began.

Adelaide Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) forecaster Jenny Horvat told ABC Radio Adelaide a high east of the city was keeping temperatures down.

"It's quite a dry air mass, which is making it easier to get to those low temperatures," she said.
